Local Bus Service Survey

John Dodd is carrying out a survey in Larkfield Lane and surrounding Roads, to find out if residents are satisfied with the bus service in the area.

A few months ago, the No 42 bus service was withdrawn from Southport and the No 40 bus was re-routed, leaving Larkfield Lane without any bus service at all.

These changes have caused inconvenience to many local residents, particularly to people who can’t walk very far and those who don’t have access to a car or other form of transport.

The changes to the buses were not widely advertised, and the bus company website is still showing the old route for the No 40, going down Larkfield Lane, with the 2013 bus times.
